§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service what representations he has received concerning the 1950 cut-off limit for world war 2 active service to be taken into account for the calculation of public service pensions for those who entered the civil service or equivalent public service organisations subsequent to world war 2.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardI have been asked to reply.
The Government receive representations from time to time suggesting relaxations in this aspect of the rules governing public service pension schemes. The cut-off date of 30 June 1950 was established for new entrants to the civil service by the Superannuation (War Service) (End of Period) Order 1950—SI 1950 No 962. This cut-off date applies similarly to those who entered other public services after the war.
